Royal French Army

The Royal French Army was the land-based military force of France before the country became a republic. It was established in the Middle Ages and expanded over centuries, playing key roles in France’s defense and territorial expansion through wars and conflicts. Known for its disciplined soldiers and advancements in military tactics, it served as a symbol of royal power until the French Revolution in the late 18th century. After the revolution, it was replaced by the modern French Army, reflecting changes in government and military organization.
